Elizabeth Murray Smith

Founding Attorney

No one plans to end up in family court. You didn’t marry this person or have a child with this person, expecting it to end in heartbreak. I know. I am divorced. I founded Compass Family Law because I want to help people like you identify your goals and build a new future- a future where there is less pain, less uncertainty and more peace.

I was born in the Lowcountry and knew from a young age that I wanted to be an attorney. I am passionate about my work and helping families move forward with their lives. When my first marriage ended it was difficult, but today I enjoy a successful co-parenting relationship with my son’s father. When I am not at work, I enjoy gourmet cooking, hunting and fishing and spending time with my loved ones.
